008: Should You Get Better or Worse in a Lesson?

/
We dive into a common (and oft-debated) part of the lesson experience — what should progress actually look like during a session? Should players expect immediate improvement, or is a temporary step back part of the process? We explore how ball flight, quality of motion, and player feel can all tell different stories — and why it’s crucial to define what “better” really means. We also touch on the importance of video feedback, trust-building, and why ongoing support after the lesson might matter just as much as what happens during it. If you’ve ever left a lesson wondering, “Did that actually help?”, this episode is for you.
